Question 160* Thermostat
Is there any point to swap to a 160* if you are not going to get e-fans... a question for my dad.

If your running clutch fan, it is always moving air. The 160 t-stat opens at a cooler temp to allow the hot coolant to flow to the cooler radiator, sooner.

The Clutch fans will cool it if you are running a low temp stat.
